Have you ever asked if the breakfast you take contains all the nutrients your body needs in order to start the morning with energy? Or maybe you are someone who just take a glass of milk or yogurt because you are late to work or college.
Today we will discover what are the vitamins, minerals, and protein that an ideal breakfast must contain. That one that gives us all strength to face the problems of a day overloaded with work and inevitable stress.
Breakfast is the first meal of the day and the principal, remember that before the body was asleep, and many of our brain functions as well, so we need to re-activate energy intake.
Various studies demonstrated that the first meal of the day helps children to think quickly, pay attention and communicate appropriately with the environment. A child who goes to school without properly having breakfast, have difficulty concentrating, memory will fail, she or he will feel tired, nervous and even angry.
The most important
A good breakfast is necessary not only for children and adolescents, also for adults, older people and those who are dieting. It is important to note that diet is not starvation, but knowing how to choose nutritious foods low in saturated fat.
If you're doing a diet, your breakfast should have a value close to 300 calories. This is a valid value of all weight loss diets. It is accomplished by separating fruits for breakfast and snacks, thus avoiding anxiety or hunger.
What breakfast should contain
Glucose
Without it the brain cannot function, so our breakfast should contain 140 grams of this substance, glucose can be replaced in our body by fat stores, but that is not really effective if you make a comparison.

If you eat bread, try to consume whole bread, which has more fiber, is digested more slowly and give us the feeling of being full for a longer time. You can also choose to take yogurt and skim milk. Begin to give a special value to your breakfasts. Just like tells the saying "take breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar".
